Go Broncos!

As you may have heard, Boise State beat Oklahoma State in the Fiesta Bowl last night!

Although I wouldn't normally consider myself much of a football fan, I was cheering the broncos on last night 'til the end. And it was a GREAT game.

So here's approximately how it went down...

The broncos came out with a vengeance and scored 14 points within the first 10 minutes of the game. Oklahoma scored none.

By the end of the first half, BSU had 28...Oklahoma had something less (I don't remember the exact score...maybe 14?).

The second half started kind of slow. Then Oklahoma got some points...then Oklahoma got some more points and tied the game. Then, with just a few minutes left in the game, Oklahoma got some more points...pulling ahead 35-28.

At this point, the announcers seemed convinced that the game was basically over. They made comments about how Boise had put up a good fight...how they had proven that they could run with the big dogs...that they had shown that they were worthy of playing with the big 12 and of being at a bowl game...

Suddenly, in the last minute of the game, Boise scored...bringing the score to 35-35 and pushing the game into overtime!

In the first play of OT, Oklahoma scored...42-35.

A few minutes later, Boise got a touchdown...and a two point conversion...winning the game 43-42!

Like I said before...I don't normally have a lot of appreciation for football...but this was an incredibly exciting game!!!

Go Broncos!!!
